The Clinton News Record, 1930-07-24, Page 6arnihrl► THE CLINTON-NEWS RECORD' NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR TIB BUSY FARMER .. ( Furnished by the Department of Aggriculture') Canada Well Represented At . the fourth World's Congress being held at the Crystal Palace, London, England, from July 22nd to 30th, Canada will 'have a total of 863 birds in competitive entries, also .453 exhibition birds and. 244 production birds. Exhibits of ducks, geese, pige- ons and rabbits will also be there from the Dominion. Fall Wheat' Crop Good The harvesting of fall wheat in the southwestern .portion of the province has been general during' the past ten days. Due to warm weather with cool nights during ripening time; the heads are quite plump and the grow- ers are securing much . larger yields than they expected. Reports .of ag- ricultural representatives from other parts of Ontario' would indicate a fair average crop of wheat. SterilizingImportant The proper sterilization of • dairy utensils is somewhat difficult in farm dairies where there is no live steam. Boiling water is effective if it is really boiling, but in too many eases it is just hot and this does not kill bacteria. One dairyman who has all his buildings wired with electric- ity, has installed an electric water heater in the dairy room at the barn. A11 milk pails and the metal parts of his milking machine are thoroughly ..scalded and he reports fewer com- plaints from the shipping plant than when boiling water was carried front the house. Where electricity is not available, the use of sterilizing solu- tions should be considered. 'Your druggist -can advise as to what he carries in stock. Directions for mak- ing the solutions and the frequency of changing it should be strictly ad- hered to, in order; to obtain the best results. ; Fruit Tree Insects A valuable pamphlet for fruit growers is "Insects Attacking Fruit Trees," by Professor Lawson Caesar, Bulletin 366, distributed free by the Department. This is a revision of an older bulletin by, the same author. It contains sections dealing with the general principles of control, sprays to use, and equipment and methods used in spraying. Most of the space however, is devoted to description of the more common insects affecting fruit trees. It is well -illustrated. ' Mortality Among Young Pigs One of the most serious problems confronting swine breeders now, is undoubtedly the high mortality a- mong the very young pigs, some- times called "Anemia in, suckling pigs." For some time the staff of the Ontario Veterinary College in co- operation with the Animal Husband- ry Department of the O.A.C. have been studying this problem and they are frank to admit that many phases of the disease still baffle them. The disease can be prevented by keeping the pregnant sow and then the litter in an environment which includes plenty of air, sunshine and green feed, but in winter time when these conditions are out of the question, the disease is much more difficult to con- trol. In a test recently made a num- ber of young bacon type sows were placed through the province for breeding purposes and a check made GILSON "SNOW -BIRD" IRONER Why iron by hand?

IN CANADA' ' ' pjte In sspite of success so far,'the battle on . their growth and production of young pigs. Records of 39 gilts far- rowing this spring show' that the av- erage litter contained only 10.9 pigs of which 6.5 were saved to grow to commercial age and weights, The greatest cause for loss is said to be too often carelessness, and 'inexper-, fence on the part of the owner booth during pregnancy and after. Many losses might be prevented' with a lit- tle c'are and extra, watchfulness. Poultry Market Unpromising An. official forecast states that the, poultry market for the balance of the year is going to be a trying one, per- haps the most difficult through which the industry has passed in recent years. Not only are storage stocks heavy and production fully up to nor- mal, but the recently -enacted tariff schedules of the United. States are bound to affect the shipmentsof live poultry to that country. This is a business which._ has reached quite heavy proportions,/ especially in Western Ontario, to which district Buffalo offers a splendid market. The report of Hon. John S. Martin, Minister of Agriculture, fee the year ending October 31st, 1929, has been released. It contains a very compre- hensive review of all activities un der taken by the Department during the preceding year. Music in Rural Schools The enthusiasm; evident at musical festivals staged by schools in various counties at the end of the school term in June shows definitely that the young people of rural Ontario are taking an increasingly greater inter- est in music. In Middlesex, for ex- ample, there were 150 entries includ- ing eleven school choruses, three high school choruses and two mixed chor- uses. Over 1500 people were in at- tendance. Fifteen rural school and three urban school choruses Competed at the festival in Peel, with some 154 entries and a capacity attendance. As a result of previous musical festivals in Weilington Bounty, a large number of rural school boards have made special arrangements for the teaching of music to their pupils. J. E. Whit- lock of the agricultural representat- tive branch declared that no activity has been taken up so wholeheartedly by the Juniors of Ontario as music and he advises leaders in counties where this feature has not been at- tempted to give the hatter serious consideration for their 1931 pro- grams. Build up the Soil Not infrequently do we read of some section of the country where the soil has been gradually impover- ished,to the point it will no longer return a. profitable yield., This has come solely as the result of neglect upon the part of its owners to return to the soil at least a portion of the nourishment removed by suc- cessive cropping. Today there are available many fertilizers readily ad- aptable to various types of soil for the purpose of restoring to the earth its former fertility. True, they can- not be applied indiscriminately,'•but by judicious application, based on the recommendation of officials of the Department of Agriculture or the On- tario 'Agricultural College, a farmer may reclaim land now on the verge of - total impoverishment. Tapeworm If the lambs are light, roughcoated and runty, the worms are getting them. Get 'busy and help the lambs by dosing them with the 'bluestone mustard drench, See Bulletin 337— Ont. Dept. of Agriculture. Tobacco in Poultry Feed Unthrifty poultry may be infested with internal parasites. Examine a number of birds, and if worms are found add two pounds of finely pul- verized tobacco to each 100 pounds of dry mash. The tobacco should contain at least 1%%c nicotine'. The use of tobacco . wilI reduce the internal parasite danger with young poultry so says Dr. L. Steven- son, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture. ONTARIO PEOPLE ARE BECOM- ING WEED CONSCIOUS Ontario people, both rural' and ur- ban aro appreciating the fact more and more, that weeds are destructive and unsightly and have no place in the Ontario landscape. - Mever :before have farmers in general, been so careful in keeping down noxious weeds -on their fauns. During the month of June, it was a common sight to see men, women and children out in the fields, hoeing, cutting, spudding and pulling weeds, state officials of the Crops Co -opera- tion and Markets Branch, Parliament Buildings, Toronto •Hundreds of country cenleteries have been cleaned up, properly sod- ded, planted with shrubs and other- wisd put in a condition more fitting the last' resting place of ouresteem- ed. and honored forefathers. More attention is being -paid to school yards, church yards, highways, town- ship roads, railroads and public pro- perty of all kinds. The successful control of the weed. situation is very largely due to the United and co-operated effort of far- mey:'s, weed inspectors, road, and rail- way officials, trustees of public pro - Party, Women's Institutes and Ser- vice Orggnizations all over the Por- vine, Weed Control is more apparent in has only begun. 'Citizens, eomn1uni- ties and organizations will have to. continue ” to give their eo-operation and support before the weed menace is finally under control, . Every municipality in the Pro- vine, including towns, cities and vil- lages, now has a weed inspector. The weed inspector's duties are to inspect all propepty in the municipality, dis- cuss with farmers the best methods of control of noxious weeds and as- sist the farmer' in every way pos- sible in his fight against the weed menace, In extreme' ` cases where weeds in crops' are so bad that they are providing a 'menace to neighbor ing farms, the weed inspector may advise thecutting of'`the crop. If this is neglected or refused the in- spector " pay order the crop cut and charge cost 'of same to the occupant of the land'in his taxes. All occupants of land are expected to prevent the ripening of allnox-. nous weeds in such a manner that seeds will not blow over neighboring property. Municipal councils are expected to give the local weed inspector every assistance and support in his work. Although there are 17 weeds deemed noxious under the Weed Control Act, Sow Thistle,' which is considered the "World's Worse Weed" is given by far, the most attention. Weed in- spectors are determined to keep this weed in control in such a manner that it will not blow from farm to farm as it has done in the past. On- tario. people have become "Weed Conscious" and as a result, will not rest content until the weed problem is fully solved and under control.
